Hawking’s Home

seen from the churchyard of Little St Mary’s Church. No.6 is the dark green door on the right.

My grandfather and grandmother lived in Little St Mary’s Lane , for my money the prettiest street in Cambridge. In the early 70’s house No.6 was also the home of Stephen and Jane Hawking. By 1975 with their young family growing and Professor Hawking’s condition worsening they moved to Number 5 West Road, a more suitable property off Queens Road, owned by Gonville & Caius College.
